Do you think going 'down under' to Hell (Australia) like an evil cast-out is a pretty bad existence? Compared to going to Heaven (USA) like a Chosen One - being the way it is? Is it better to rain in Hell, than to serve in Heaven?

What are your feelings on santa and the boogeyman, come to think of it every other fantasy story character?

The mythology around Satan centres on him being God's favourite son.

He just refused to kneel before god any longer. So he was cast from heaven to oversee hell and punish the wicked and evil.

This doesn't mean Satan himself is evil. After all he is an angel not a demon.

Raven is of the opinon that the early church demonised Satan as a lesson to their congregation. Defying God is evil. They bang on about free will but they dont want you to actually exercise it.

Quoth the Raven "Nevermore"

Raven would rather ask questions that may never be answered, then accept answers which must never be questioned.

Having the power to cause rain storms would be rather cool, but I would prefer to REIGN in hell rather than serve in heaven. Its just how I roll...
